I would not worry about it unless you are concerned about how something that others cannot see, looks. Stainless steel needs oxygen to not go active. I know that sounds counterintuitive for metals but stainless can go active in an oxygen free environment under the right conditions. I have bedded the roughest cuts of stainless with no consequences. Just keep the stainless clean and it should be fine.
